One engineer. Two technical depths.
I’m Samuel Dahunsi - a software engineer and mathematics graduate who builds user-facing products, backend and developer infrastructure, and privacy-preserving protocols. I care about systems that are useful in production and precise about their guarantees.
At QuikDB, I work as a DevRel & Backend Engineer - building platform capabilities and operational tooling while making distributed infrastructure easier for developers and node operators to understand and use.
